It depends on what “work” means – in other words, on whether players would consider a Kursk scenario appealing. Conceptually, Kursk would be similar to A&A D-Day (minus the water) in the sense that the battle was fundamentally a frontal assault on a heavily-defended static position, and similar to A&A Battle of the Bulge in the sense that it would involve ground forces driving into enemy lines, but different from both games in the sense that from the German point of view Kursk was a pincer movement aimed at pinching off a salient, and that from the Russian point of view it was a two-stage offensive-defensive battle. Personally I think it has good potential to make an interesting game, if it’s designed properly.

@SS-GEN No I was hoping a 4X8 but the room is 12X15 or so… it would be a tight fit. May have to consider the smaller map ??
-
Maybe try a 3 1/2 x 7’ ?
-
Maybe-- it will be awhile have to get the walls finished and all… But thanks for the information!!!

Hi Gamer
It’d be tight, 4 feet on the sides and 3 1/2 on the ends. Might work unless you got added tray space and stuff or if it’s total. You could always lay it out on the floor, blue masking tape or blue chalk if an unfinished slab. Give you a visual on what would work.
Just a thought :)
-
@barnee Yeah Barnee I think you are right… Well… back to the drawing board!!!
Thanks
-
3 x 6 map with trays on all sides give you what Barnee said 4’ sides 3’ 3" ends.
With dice boxes being 16" wide instead of 20". -
Thanks Ray!!
-
Well map is done. Not perfect but better than old map. Pic of 2 maps side by side.

@SS-GEN
Islands in SZ have clean blue water instead of a fuzzy haze around.
Seems a deeper blue on the new map? -
Yes. Better looking. It’s like nite and day. The pieces will stand out more. Got to see what setup looks like
-
Pacific setup
-
Looking good Ray!!!

@SS-GEN
Bet that was a lot of fun setting it up :)

Ya now I have to look where due to territory name and sz changes. Lol
-
Haha – you’re getting old!! You don’t have it all memorized by now!! Even with the map changes… haha… Just kidding… It looks awesome Ray–great job!!
-
Hey easy ! Lol. Here’s Europe setup if anybody cares to look at.
If you click on picture you’ll get a better look.

@SS-GEN
There is plenty of units, and now more spaces in occupied SZ. Cool.I wonder if, from a USA point of view, a Naval Base should have been place in Panama canal to service both sides of the canal. So to allow a faster fleet displacement, in yet, 2 moves (of 3 NCM SZs) from East Coast to West Coast (or Hawaii) and vice-versa.

We can look at that.

@SS-GEN
Just for the initial historical feel. What about moving Canadian TcB (dive bomber? M5?) into Newfoundland, is there too much impact?

We can do that. Makes sense.
